Hi ,
I've been wanting to ask you something that's kind
of personal. So here it goes:
How important is your marriage to you?
If you were really honest with yourself and counted the
number of hours you and your spouse spend together each
week, would that time investment reflect that your marriage
is one or your highest priorities?
A happy and fulfilling marriage requires a major time
commitment. Healthy couples need 15 hours a week
to keep their marriage strong. Unhealthy couples need
20 hours a week together to turn their relationship around.
How much time are you giving to the most important
human relationship in your life?
I don't ask the question to make you feel bad or guilty.
Consider it either an affirmation if you're spending quality
and quantity time with your spouse, or a friendly nudge
if this is an area you feel might need a little more attention.
A healthy marriage doesn't happen automatically.
It takes time. Quality and quantity time.
Gayle and I strongly recommend that couples have at
least 3 date nights alone every month to enjoy each others'
company and have a vibrant relationship.
I realize that three date nights a month doesn't come close
to the 15-20 weekly hours we need but it's a start.
So this week, right now while you're thinking about it, check
the calendar and schedule a special block of time for you and
your spouse to reconnect.
Until next time, this is Mike and Gayle Tucker and our deepest
desire is for you to be madly in love with your spouse for the
rest of your life.
